Corrections

The Corrections Industry

In one of our client’s facilities, 70% of offenders have health related issues that require frequent medications and medical oversight on a daily basis.

There are over 190 correctional facilities in Canada with varying levels of security. Each is challenged with increasing health concerns. Facilities are typically located in remote locations with limited access to the public system. For security reasons managers of correctional facilities would like to keep offenders out of local public hospitals and clinics. Dealing with offender health issues on site reduces security concerns while simultaneously increases speed of response and quality of health care for offenders. PRAXES telemedicine improves health care delivery and reduces both offender “off sites” and overtime for facility staff who may have to wait for hours in public emergency rooms – a better solution, which saves money.

“Utilization of the PRAXES 24/7 telemedicine services has significantly reduced the number of diversions to outside emergency departments“

– Program Director, Offender Health
